The England striker recovered over the weekend and is due back at Melwood today as Klopp's squad report back to begin preparations for their next match at Leicester on Monday.

It is understood that Sturridge was laid low by the same virus that sidelined Ragnar Klavan earlier this month.

Sturridge, 27, is keen to get back into action and he has managed just two Premier League goals during his frustrating season.

Liverpool set to leave Melwood

Liverpool are set to leave Melwood for a new state-of-the-art training complex built at their current Kirkby Academy base, reports the Liverpool Echo.

The ambitious £50million project will accommodate the first team as well as the club's youth set up, as the Reds leave their 1950s base.

Boss Jurgen Klopp has been the catalyst behind the decision to blend the club’s two training facilities and owners Fenway Sports Group have committed the funds to make his dream a reality.

The ECHO understands that Liverpool have reached an agreement with Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council over the scope of work and funding. Heads of terms will be finalised once a public consultation period is completed.
